WANTED: In need of a companion dogDog must be hyperallergenic my fiance is allergic, prefer youngadult, recently retired due to health problems, needed to keep myfrom going bananas.

That showed up on my local Freecycle today. I worry that the person couldn't afford to keep a dog if they are looking for a free dog instead of rescuing one and paying those fees. I know there a lot of rescue groups around here and some are for dog breeds that are hypoallergenic and the adoption fees at the groups I've looked at are not very high. It also seems unlikely that a person is looking to give away a young adult, hypoallergenic dog.

There is also no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog anyway. I know people market dogs that way, but it is hype. Dogs that don't shed leave less dander in the air, but they still have dander. Some people can tolerate certain dogs better than other, but the only way to know is to live with that specific dog...not just a dog of that same breed.

I don't know.. money isn't the only thing that could keep someone from being able to adopt from a rescue. I'm sure the different rescues have different rules, but a friend of mine was unable to adopt from a big one here in my town because she and her boyfriend lived together. They said it wasn't a stable home environment. For the dog.

We have a rescue group that won't let you adopt a dog within a set timeframe if you returned a dog to the shelter. So if your dog couldn't handle the new baby and you took it to a shelter to give it a chance at a new happy home without children, you were automatically ineligible for taking a dog home. Because you're obviously not going to care for it and give it a loving home, I mean you returned the last one, right?

From my area in the last month - several people asking for "free" smartphones from a particular carrier to replace a broken one - but they are posting from a Galaxy S...if nobody has a free smartphone, then they guess any cell phone from that carrier will work.

Gee - too bad I turned in my five years old and older phones from that carrier for recycling - or I'd have something that they could use.

The woman who NEEDS a 32" or larger tv for her grandmother who has vision problems. Sorry - the only "spare" tv of that size that we have had something break in it and it now has great audio and a flat horizontal line of color down the middle of the tube where the picture "collapsed". Probably not going to work. I do have a "spare" but it's ONLY 15" diagonally (although it has a built in DVD player in the base AND can use batteries - or it could if I knew where VorGuy hid the battery adapter base).

Rear projection TV - they are looking for parts from one that doesn't work to use in a science fair project - I just don't have a rear projection TV...wonder if I could find the Fresnel lens that we bought 25 years ago when VorGuy was planning to build one himself?

I had no idea that rescues organizations would have requirements about how people live together! I wonder what happens in roommate situations. I do still find it an odd request but at least I know there are reasons beyond the ones I thought of.

There are some rescue organizations that have ridiculous requirements and it seems like they aren't nearly as interested in placing the animals as they should be. I think the "not married but living together" is definitely one of them. Another is "refuses to have a doggie door" - especially when we are talking about a large breed dog where a doggie door is big enough for a person to climb through.

I am torn on the "returning an animal to the shelter". I think that needs to be a case by case - there are people who don't want to bother so just give their animals up instead of working with them (I know a few people like that) and I wouldn't adopt out to them once they have their current problem fixed.

Not to defend it but I suspect the "not married but living together" rule has to do with the shelter's experience with unmarried couples breaking up more easily than married couple and the pet being abandoned or let go without much thought.

We were told we'd be ineligible for a local rescue because I found a stray, took it in for the weekend, and came to drop it off that Monday. I took it to the vet first and paid for shots, but since I "abandoned my dog" I won't be able to adopt a dog from them in the future.

That's okay, there are tons of other rescues, and we ended up "trading" the stray for The Dumb Dog at another no-kill shelter which was out of room (We weren't averse to getting a second dog, but the stray was going to be twice the size of The Smart Dog when she finally got some food in her, and The Smart Dog absolutely did not like her. He tolerates The Dumb Dog pretty well - tried to assert dominance for a while, but eventually learned she had no idea what he was going on about and just gave up )

And that is why I think it should be a case by case thing. Because you obviously did the right thing and shouldn't be penalized for it. I did the same - stray cats were showing up. I couldn't take them all in so I took them to a no-kill shelter. And the shelter I took the cat to let me adopt him after 6 months because I couldn't stand that he wasn't being adopted and decided maybe I could make room for him after all! (He had FIV otherwise he would have flown out of there - he was that friendly).

We got our dog off of Craigslist. They had a "suprise litter" thanks to the dog next door and we wouldn't trade her for the world.

But we looked on Craigslist because the rescue group near us wouldn't let us adopt. We were hoping for a Lab/mix and we noted on our application that the dog would spend a large amount of time outside. We were told that unless the dog spent at least 75 percent of its time inside that they didn't believe that we would consider it a member of the family and no dogs for us.

We now have an electronic dog door, and guess what? When the weather is nice she chooses to spend a majority of her time outside.

Some of the dogs we looked at were still available months later. And we felt so bad for them. Labradors who will have to spend the majority of their lives inside.
